BASF RXT70A TPU Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application domain for RXT70A?

A: RXT70A is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer specifically engineered for high-performance extrusion and injection molding applications, with strong suitability in automotive interior components, industrial hoses, and flexible technical profiles requiring excellent abrasion resistance and low-temperature flexibility.


Q2: How does RXT70A differ from standard TPU grades in terms of processing behavior?

A: RXT70A features optimized melt flow characteristics and reduced viscosity sensitivity to shear rate, enabling stable extrusion at higher line speeds and improved mold filling in complex geometries—without compromising mechanical recovery or surface finish.


Q3: Is RXT70A compatible with common engineering thermoplastics for co-extrusion or overmolding?

A: Yes, RXT70A demonstrates good interfacial adhesion with polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and certain polyamides (PA) when processed under controlled temperature and residence time conditions—making it suitable for multi-material systems such as soft-touch grips and sealing profiles.


Q4: What are the key storage and handling recommendations to maintain RXT70A performance?

A: RXT70A is hygroscopic and must be dried prior to processing—typically at 80–90 °C for 2–4 hours using desiccant-assisted drying. It should be stored in original sealed packaging under dry, cool conditions (<25 °C, <40% RH) to prevent moisture uptake and avoid prolonged exposure to ambient humidity before use.
